。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When filling with carbonated liquids, in particular also when filling containers or bottles with beverages under counterpressure, it is necessary to depressurize the container to atmospheric pressure after the liquid filling or filling phase has ended. Its relatively high C
Due to the O□ content, it is particularly preferable in liquids, such as champagne or soft drinks, which do not have ideal filling properties even when the liquid is to be filled from an economic point of view even at relatively high temperatures. A vacuum is necessary to avoid foaming or over-foaming of the liquid to be carefully filled. For this purpose, it is known to carry out the depressurization to atmospheric pressure in stages, such that the preliminary depressurization phase presupposes a specific depressurization to atmospheric pressure.

ないことに欠点がある。A known method of this kind (West German patent specification 112724L
), following the filling phase the gas space present in the filled container is briefly reduced to atmospheric pressure, i.e. the pressure reducing valve in the filling element is opened for a short time by the control curve of the filling machine and likewise By closing again, the pressure is reduced, so that the carbon dioxide, which is not tightly bound to the filled liquid, is brought to a low pressure value by the resulting reduction in the gas space of the container and the final reduction to atmospheric pressure and In this known method, the filled liquid is sedated before removal of the container from the associated filling element takes place, and a pre-depressurization is always necessary for economical filling with the greatest possible efficiency. The disadvantage is that it is not possible to reach equal pre-decompression pressures.
公知の方法では制御曲線により充填要素の減圧弁の短時
間の開放が行われるので、そこでは原理的には相異なる
特性を有する液体への予備減圧の適合も不可能である。In the known method, the control curve causes a short-term opening of the pressure reducing valve of the filling element, so that in principle it is also not possible to adapt the pre-pressure reduction to liquids with different properties.

減圧ではない。A method for filling containers with a carbonated liquid under back pressure using a one-chamber back pressure filling machine is known (West German Patent Publication No. 36 22 807), in which the filling phase takes place under back pressure in the container to be filled. This is achieved by closing the liquid valve of the filling element when the lower end of the gas pipe is immersed in the filling liquid. After the end of the filling phase, i.e. after the closure of the liquid valve, the backpressure gas line communicates with a chamber whose pressure is less than the pressure in the liquid tank, so that the liquid present above the lower end of the backpressure gas line is absorbed by this backpressure gas line. It is carried out from the bottle through a pressure gas pipe into a ring-shaped chamber. The purpose of this measure is the correction of the predetermined target height of the filling level maintained after the end of the filling phase, and not the pre-depressurization of each container.

Optimum adaptation of the pre-decompression pressure to the filling characteristics of the liquid to be filled, which is filled, prevents foaming of the filled liquid upon depressurization to atmospheric pressure and leakage of this liquid to the outside from the container via the ducts of the filling element. The objective is to create a method and device that avoids this.

。In the method according to the invention, the back-pressure gas compressed during filling of the container is discharged with a pressure gradient into the chamber via a connection with a throttle device, so that if the liquid properties of the liquid to be filled permit, The pressure ratio is preferably such that the chamber-regulated or regulated pre-vacuum pressure is located between atmospheric pressure and the saturation pressure and preferably below the saturation pressure, but at the same time between the filling pressure and the critical pressure of the throttling device. It is also located in between. In this way, it is also possible to optimize the filling speed with respect to the filling characteristics of the liquid to be filled without changing the throttle device.

に調整可能である。At the bottom of the ring-shaped liquid tank 11, a ring-shaped distribution chamber 25 for the boost gas and a ring-shaped back pressure gas chamber 26 for the back pressure gas are installed. Central distributor 2 of filling machine 10
Via 7, the liquid tank 11 is connected to the liquid line 28 and the ring distribution chamber 15 is connected to the energizing gas line 29. An outlet 30 of the backpressure gas chamber or a line 31 extending from this outlet 30 and likewise leading through the distributor 27 is connected to a regulating valve 32, to which a line 31 or backpressure which extends upstream in the flow direction is connected. A pressure tweeter 33 inserted into the gas chamber 26 is attached, for example, a pressure regulator, and the pressure in the back pressure gas chamber 26 can be adjusted by the pressure regulator. liquid conduit 28
A further pressure regulator or pressure tweeter 34 is provided at , which controls a further regulating valve 35 which is intermediately connected to the liquid conduit 28 upstream in the flow direction. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, regulating valves 32 and 35 can be controlled separately or independently by respective associated pressure tweeters 33 or 34. However, in principle, the pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26, regulated by the pressure tweeter 33, is transferred to the liquid conduit 28, as indicated by the dotted signal line 34' in FIG.
It is also possible to provide a connection in order to make it dependent on the pressure measured by the pressure tweeter 34 therein and thus on the filling pressure in the liquid tank 11. The control or regulation circuit which closes the pressure tweeters 33 and 34 in this case is for example configured such that the pressure tweeter 33 is activated by one signal taking into account the pressure measured by the pressure tweeter 34, the filling pressure and the pressure measured by the pressure tweeter 34. If the pressure difference between the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber and the backpressure gas pressure measured by the tweeter 33 exceeds a desired, preferably preferably adjustable pressure difference, i.e. if the filling pressure in the liquid tank 11 is If set, the regulator valve 32 is designed to open when the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 falls below the critical pressure of the throttle device of the filling element 12, which will be described in more detail below. As a result, if the back pressure gas pressure in the back pressure gas chamber 26 is adjusted to a pressure between the filling pressure and the critical pressure of the throttling device, the filling rate will be limited. l1l (the amount of liquid flowing into the container 18 to be filled per unit time) can be adjusted to an optimal value by the back pressure gas pressure in the back pressure gas chamber 26.

The influence of the throttling device 63 on the flow rate VS (volume per unit time) of the back pressure gas discharged into the container 6 and thus on the filling rate (volume of liquid flowing into each container 18 per unit time) The influence is also given in a standardized manner depending on the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 and the filling at higher rates is shown by the solid line, i.e. the filling by the backpressure gas flow through the nozzles 65 and 66 is shown by the solid line; And for the minimum filling rate, the backpressure gas flow through nozzle 65 only is represented by the dotted line.

In this case, the flow rate VS and therefore the filling rate is determined by the pressure feeler 33 and the regulating valve 32 in the back pressure gas chamber 26 in the preset state of the throttle device 63 (in particular the effective cross-sectional area of the nozzles 65 and 67). 32 is dependent on the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 regulated by 32 . In this case or in this mode of operation of the filling machine 10, the respective filling speed is optimally adapted to the liquid properties of the liquid to be filled by adjusting the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 without changing the throttle device 63. and, in particular, during filling, neither an excess amount of carbonic acid is released nor an undesired foaming of the filled liquid in the container 18.

いる。However, in the embodiment described, the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 is regulated by the pressure feeler 33 and the regulating valve 32 to a pressure value, which pressure value is equal to the predepressurization phase following the filling phase of the container 18. And in the already closed liquid valve 48 a pre-reduced pressure is formed, which pre-reduced pressure is located between the atmospheric pressure and the saturation pressure of the carbonated liquid to be filled, so that the liquid filled in the container 18 is not affected by this pre-reduced pressure. The vacuum pressure can stabilize during the pre-vacuum pressure and lead to foaming or over-foaming of the liquid and the filling without the liquid reaching the outside or the backpressure gas duct 26 or the connection 64 with this vacuum. selected to allow carbonation to rise from the liquid.

ができる。After adjusting the filling machine to the required filling pressure, energizing gas pressure and back pressure gas pressure required for pre-(fN depressurization), the actual filling is started by rotation of the machine, as shown in FIG. , each container 18 to be filled, e.g. a bottle, is placed in the ventricle under the intermediate insertion of the closure element 78 so that the tulip-shaped member 14 is brought into closure with the lower end of the filling element housing 40 of the filling element 12 and the control device Liquid valve 4 by means of a control signal supplied from 47 via signal line a to actuating device 46
8, a normal pre-pressure with air or inert gas, and in special cases a pre-cleaning can also be preceded by a pre-cleaning, so that under the action of the opening spring 42 the liquid valve 48 is 2 to the open position shown in FIG. At this point, for filling with the lowest filling speed, the valve plate 52 is in a state in which the conduit section 69 is opened through the control groove 72 after the action of the actuating lever 54 on the control element 56, so that During the inflow of the liquid being inserted, a backpressure gas is compressed by the liquid exiting from the lower end of the filling tube 13 and forms a mixture with the prepressure gas and the air provided by the container 18 to be filled, at the container mouth and the bulge. It enters the conduit section 68 of the connection to be supplied via the element 78 and subsequently the conduit section 69 and the nozzle 6 arranged therein.
5 and the conduit section 71 of the connection 64 to be discharged into the backpressure gas chamber 26 which is below the set backpressure gas pressure. In this case, irrespective of the set back pressure gas pressure in the back pressure gas chamber 26 acting on the cross section of the nozzle 65 and on the container 18 to be filled, the liquid flows out from the lower end of the filling tube 13 at a slow flow rate. A pressure gradient is adjusted to the outgoing filling pressure. When the liquid rising in the container 18 during further rotation of the filling element 12 reaches the lower end of the filling tube 13, the drain valve 66 is activated on the basis of a control signal supplied from the control device 47 via the control line. is opened, so that backpressure gas can additionally also be discharged via another nozzle 47.

Much lower than the saturation pressure of the liquid to be treated in each case, but well above atmospheric pressure, which results in the stabilization of the filled liquid in the method already described, but with no foaming or overheating of this liquid in the pre-decompression phase. Foaming does not occur, and accordingly the final depressurization to atmospheric pressure can be carried out within a relatively short time and without foaming or overfoaming of the liquid. Each filling element 12 of the filling machine 10 is connected via a connection 64 with a throttle device 63 of the filling machine 10 to a backpressure gas chamber 26 common to all filling elements 12.
, so that changes in the pressure regulation carried out at the pressure feeler 33 act simultaneously on all filling elements 12,
As a result, an optimal pre-decompression pressure for the pre-decompression phase can be set in common for all filling elements 33 and, if necessary, by a common adjustment for all filling elements 12. The critical pressure and filling of the throttling device 63 is determined when the properties of the liquid to be processed are known in advance and taking into account the necessary preliminary vacuum pressure of the back-pressure gas pressure in the back-pressure gas chamber 26 required for the pre-pressure phase. Adapting the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 to a flow rate or filling rate optimally adapted to the filling conditions of the liquid to be filled, insofar as the pressure can be adjusted to a value between I can do it.

ができる。In a further embodiment of the invention, at least a partial amount of the backpressure gas discharged into the backpressure gas chamber 26 via the joint 64 is used for container preloading and/or for pre-cleaning upstream of the container preloading. is also proposed. This is of economic importance, especially if the liquid inflow (filling phase) is accelerated or has to be carried out with air exclusion at low CO□ consumption. However, this presupposes that, for example, Cot is used during the preloading and, if necessary, the precleaning with an inert gas which precedes the preloading. In such a case, for reuse of the backpressure gas in each filling element 12, each filling element 12 is closed downstream of the nozzle 65 in the conduit section 69 and in the face of the socket 58 facing the valve plate 52. It is recommended to provide a conduit emanating from the connecting connection 64. Furthermore, the valve plate 52 is provided with a connecting duct, by means of which it can be connected for partial prestressing of a balancing duct 60 with an operating state for pre-cleaning and/or a conduit to be discharged, which is predisposed to its own prestress state. be. In this operating state for the valve plate 52, a pre-cleaning takes place in the filling element 12 and the unoccupied container 18, and a partial prestressing to the pressure to be locked occurs in the filling element 12 and the unoccupied container 18. carried out,
and only in the closed position with the filling element 12 the valve plate 5
A specific preload is implemented in the two predetermined operating states. In the operating state for pre-cleaning and partial pre-pressure, the backpressure gas at a pressure below the regulated pressure is passed through a supply conduit (not shown) and via a connection duct (also not shown) into the balance duct 60 and from there into the balance chamber 61 and It reaches the container 18 through the inside of the filling tube 13. The air directed upwardly and compressed in this container and entrained from the container 18 flows outwardly through the unobstructed container inlet;
and during the further operation of the filling element 12 and during the upward stroke of the stroke cylinder 16, until the container 18 is brought into the tight state shown in FIG. 2 by the stroke cylinder. Flow. A partial prepressure of the container is set to a pressure that is to be adjusted depending on the occupied blocking position. This is preferred, since there is a risk in this case that the pre-reducing pressure required for the pre-reducing phase cannot be maintained by the back-pressure gas to be supplied to the back-pressure gas chamber 26 for pre-cleaning and partial pre-pressurization. In order to maintain the necessary preliminary vacuum pressure, a corresponding amount of boosting gas is supplied to the back pressure gas chamber, for example back pressure gas chamber 2.
6 or an extended conduit 31 to the ring distribution chamber 25 or to the energizing gas conduit 29 via a branch pipe (not shown), which is controlled by a pressure feeler 33 and which is used to prepare the filling machine 10 for operation. It can also be used for energizing the backpressure gas chamber 26 with backpressure gas to be regulated.

出口の範囲において充填機械10aから外される。If, for filling the container 18, it is pressed against the filling element 82 from below by a lifting device or a supporting plate 88,
As a result, the container 18 rests its mouth tightly against the filling connection tube 85 below the intermediate connection of the closure element, which is not shown. By lifting the control lever 87 shown in FIG. 6 for the introduction of the filling phase, the gas valve 87' is opened and the liquid valve 86 is thereby released, so that the adjustment between the container 18 and the liquid tank 81 is When the pressure is equalized, the liquid valve 8
6 is opened and liquid can flow into the container 18 to be filled. Filling of the container 18 stops as soon as the liquid rising into the container 18 reaches the lower end of the back pressure gas line 83. The filling valve 84 is then closed, thereby finally ending the filling phase. The control valve mechanism 90, conventionally in its first operating position, is then brought into a second operating position for a subsequent preliminary depressurization of the container 18 to be filled;
The pressure in the filled container 18 can thereby be reduced via the connecting duct 91 to the pre-reduced pressure acting in the chamber 89 or regulated there. In this embodiment, too, the pre-decompression pressure allows the undissolved carbonic acid from the filled liquid, i.e. the carbonic acid bubbles that may be present, to rise, but the foaming or over-foaming of the liquid or subsequent rise to atmospheric pressure. When the pressure is reduced, this liquid does not flow out of the container 18. A pre-vacuum pressure present in the chamber 89 and greater than or equal to atmospheric pressure, which is maintained for a specified period of time to stabilize the filled liquid.
Only after the A depressurization phase is the control valve mechanism 90 brought into the third operating position via the container depressurization part 92, which is connected to the connecting duct 91, in which the container 18 is depressurized from the preliminary depressurization pressure to atmospheric pressure. During the further operation of the filling element 82, the depressurized containers 18 are removed from the filling element 82 by lowering by means of the support plate 88 or the lifting device and are removed from the filling machine 10a in the region of the container outlet at this point.

, is moved to the operating position where the connection between the energized gas duct 62 and the conduit section 690 is formed. This connection makes it possible to compensate the liquid level at the pre-reduced pressure in the pre-reduced pressure phase, with the carbonic acid liberated in the filling pipe 13 passing from this filling pipe via the balancing duct 60 to the backpressure gas. It can flow out into chamber 60.

の際の液体の充填にに寄与する。When the pre-vacuum pressure is reached, said compensation of the liquid level during the rest or pre-vacuum phase has significant advantages. Carbonic acid, which may have been liberated in the filling tube 13 during the pre-decompression, can be discharged into the backpressure gas chamber 26 via the balance duct 60 and the conduit section 69 with the nozzle 65, so that
At pre-pressure (fMfli), gas shocks and associated gas shocks in the filling tube 13 are avoided if necessary from the filling tube. Such gas shocks, which occur in particular during depressurization to atmospheric pressure, are avoided in the container 18. A significant stabilization of the liquid within the chamber leads to an additional release of carbonic acid with significant foaming. Compensation of the liquid level when the pre-vacuum pressure is reached contributes to the filling of the liquid during the pre-vacuum phase.

得られる。In this embodiment of the invention, liquid level compensation is already carried out before the final depressurization of each container 18 to atmospheric pressure, so that upon initiation of the final depressurization of the containers 18 to atmospheric pressure, Immediately after or immediately after the withdrawal of the filling container from the associated filling element 12'' is initiated, i.e. the filling is carried out with the avoidance of any destabilization of the liquid, which could lead to an unnecessary release of carbonic acid or to the formation of bubbles in the container 18. This is also possible during a careful blanking of the tube 13. This is preferred, in particular because unnecessary openings in the filling tube 13 or bubbling in the container 18 or in other ducts of each filling element 12' are avoided. In this embodiment, a low droplet loss and therefore a clean working method for the counterpressure filling machine 10 is obtained.

It is carried out in a form that is carried out under reduced pressure. For example, 0
.. Once a small overpressure of 5 bar has been achieved, the corresponding container 18 is drained from the associated filling element 12'', so that a reduction to atmospheric pressure takes place via the container opening.Reducing the pressure to a slight overpressure is achieved. Therefore, after the end of the pre-(Illi decompression phase)
Corresponding to the figure, the valve plate 52 is brought into the operating position in the interrupted line sections 68 and 69 of the balancing duct 60, where the energizing gas introduction duct 62 and the pressure reducing duct 75 are interconnected by a control groove 72. Furthermore, the drain valve 66 is opened. Taking into account the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26, the diameters of the nozzle 67 and the restrictor 74 are selected in such a way that the desired small overpressure or underpressure is set in the container 18. The advantage of this method is that liquids or beverages that tend to be highly carbonated or effervescent are also treated with care. Depressurization to a small overpressure is used in principle in all backpressure filling machines without or with a filling tube, and in particular ensures that relaxed or liberated carbon dioxide and air bubbles are cleanly discharged to the atmosphere. It is used with the advantage of being

るという利点を有する。In the exemplary embodiments described above, the starting point is that the backpressure gas pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 is used to generate a slight overpressure. In principle, it is also possible to provide a separate or additional chamber with a pressure medium for this purpose. Preferably, the embodiment has the advantage that the pre-reduced pressure in the backpressure gas chamber 26 can thereby be changed without the slight overpressure or underpressure being changed.
